What is the new Samsung phone 2024?

It was no surprise that the Galaxy S24 was announced at the Galaxy Unpacked Event. This smartphone will have a heavy involvement with generative AI after it took the world by storm at the end of 2022 with the introduction of ChatGPT.

Samsung announced they are working on adapting their Galaxy AI, with a combination of on-device and cloud-based AI features which will be available on the S24 in some new features similar to live translation, expanding photos and tone in the text. Besides the introduction of Galaxy AI into their smartphones, the only other major difference was that the smartphone's screens will be 0.1” bigger in size compared to the previous models.

Of course, there will be a Galaxy S24 Ultra released eventually, which will be more premium trading its aluminium frame for a titanium body similar to the iPhone 15 Pro and swapping a 10MP camera for a 50MP camera.

(The new Samsung phone 2024 release date is currently available for pre-order on the official Samsung website, with the official release date of the phone being January 31st.)
